100000 in a few weeks. The people are

Commodore Wilson Recommends that
the Monitors be Repaired.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Commodore T.
D. Wilson. Chief of the Bureau of Construc-
ton and Repair of the Navy Department,
has submitted his annual report to the Sec
retary of the Navy. He renews his recon-
mendation that two new vessels of about
l,000 tons each be built to replace the train
ing ships Saratoga, jamestown and Ports
mouth, which cannot possibly be kept in the
service much longer; and he asks that spe-
cial authority be given for the repair of
the historic sloop of war Hartford, at a cost
of $175,00
SINGLE TURRETED MONITORS.
Relative to the adaptability of single tur-
reted monitors to coast and harbor defense,
Commodore Wilson, says: "They are now a
considerable expense to the navy. As they
must be taken care Of, and, not being in prop
er repair they are of no use to the country.
II these vessels are TO be kept on the naval
list, they should be placed in perfect
repair and be fitted with such modern rifles
as they are capable of carrying. Within
SIX months all of these vessels could be put
in the same state of efficiency as they were
at the time Of their construction, at an ex-
penditure of about $500, 900. This would give
thirteen coast defense vessels actually avail
able, armed with 15-inch smooth bore guns.
These guns could be replaced as rapidly as
possible by rifles. By no other means could
the same amount of money be spent to give
the country such valuable return"
HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
In conclusion, the report says: "The out
look for the navy of the near future is a
very hopeful one, and with the completion
of the vessels now projected the navy will
consist of a number of modern vessels,
admirably adapted to the varied needs Of
the service. If the work of rebuilding the
navy is only kept up as it is now going, we
shall soon have navy that will be credit
as well as protection 70 our country and
our country's interests"

An ArmIess Roy.

The writer of this had an interview a short
time since with little Freddie Martin, of
Guthrie, this county, aged years. He is the
armless boy of whom great deal was said in
the papers at the time of his birth. He was
led into the room where l was sitting by an
other boy of about the same age, that might
see him and witness some of his exploits in
using his left foot as hand. He was dressed
in trousers and n calico waist, nice and clean,
from which, at the shoulders on each side,
there were little cuffs for the stubs, where the
arms should be, to protrude through. The
left side has scarcely any stub at all, while
the right has one perhaps two or three inches
long. Immediately under this stub there is a
little pocket in the waist, into which he can
insert this stub, which very cunningly
done by him at our request He used his left
foot as a hand, holding with his big and
second toes. He can pick up pin or piece of
money and place it in the little pocket under
the right stub. He goes to school, and,
sitting ON a table, he writes on the blackboard
with crayon held between his toes. He
throws a ball with his foot the same as any
boy with his hand A piece of cake was
given him, which he took between his toes,
and, sitting on the floor, he brought it to his
mouth and ate it. He held it with the same
ease, and changed its position to suit his
mouth as any boy does with his hand. He
prefers to use his left foot to his right, as he
can put things into the pocket under the right
stub, which he cannot do with his right foot
He is a bright boy, of excellent disposition, q
general favorite with verybody.-Lawrence

"Tossing I'll. panc.Lo.

Westminster school retains its usage of
tossing the pancake" a ceremony performed
before the whole school of masters and boys
by the cook, who essays to toss the pancake
across the bar which divides the upper from
the lower school; if he succeed the dean of
Westminster is bound by charter to present
him with guinea, which honorarium is also
due to the boy who catches the pancake, and
succeeds in carrying it off, unbroken, to the
deanery. And though this may appear i'm
possible to the uninitiated, having regard to
the fimsy character of the ordinary pan
cake, 1t must be remembered that the West
minister pancake is about half an inch thick
and about SIX inches in diameter, and, more
over, is made of flour and water only, and
left to harder for a week; thus it offers some
resistance to the struggling hands of the
boys. On the other hand, the cook, if he
fail to toss the pancake over the bar, is pun
